Painless data visualizations from git history showing a repositories development progression over time. This container combines the awesome Gource program with the power of FFmpeg and the h.264 codec to bring you high resolution (up to 4k at 60fps) video visualizations. This container is 100% headless, it does this by leveraging Xvfb combined with the Mesa 3d Gallium llvmpipe Driver. Unlike other docker containers with Gource, this container does not eat up 100's of gigabtyes of disk space, nor does it require an actual GPU to run. The process runs the Gource simulation concurrently with the FFmpeg encoding process using a set of named pipes. There is a slight trade off in performance, but this makes it very easy to run in any environment such as AWS without the need to provision large amounts of storage, or run any cleanup. I use "template" scripts to generate specific looks, such as the one included in this container which is simply called border which places a frame around the Gou
